President and Mrs. Nixon enjoying their favorite view at San Clemente. January 1971.

The President told me there was a bench at San Clemente overlooking the Pacific Ocean that was a favorite spot of his. He asked me if I would photograph him there with his wife. After he resigned and returned to San Clemente I often saw him and her on this bench in my mind's eye, and wondered what they must have thought as they reflected on the highs and lows that life had dealt them.
